As Kazakhstan cautiously strengthens ties with western Europe, new art venues herald a change of direction

Two wealthy Kazakh entrepreneurs, Kairat Boranbayev and Nurlan Smagulov, are opening private art institutions in Almaty this year: the Tselinny Center of Contemporary Culture and the Almaty Museum of Arts.

Regional strength helps insulate Art Dubai from tariff-related turbulence

Art Dubai, running until 20 April, opened as the first major art fair since US President Trump announced global tariffs that nearly triggered a financial crisis. Sales were solid, with most works priced in the low six figures or thousands, insulating the fair from market anxieties. A divide emerged between regional SWANA galleries—which presented the strongest booths—and international galleries from the US, Europe, and Latin America, which seemed uncertain about what to bring. Notable sales included works by Rana Begum, Mehdi Ghadyanloo, Ali Cherri, and Shaikha Al Mazrou, while galleries like Sfeir-Semler, Vigo Gallery, and Experimenter reported strong results.

She visits Tanya Brodsky's "Stories of the City" at Campbell Hall school in Studio City, where Brodsky's sculptures engage with Italo Calvino's *Invisible Cities*; the Julia Stoschek Foundation; Amanda Ross-Ho's show; and Rita McBride's exhibition. Halpert uses Calvino's metaphor of Eutropia—a city whose inhabitants cycle through identical suburbs—to critique the repetitive nature of art fairs like Art Basel and Frieze, which travel from city to city with little variation.
